AR progressive myoclonic epilepsy 2A (Lafora) EPM2. Generalised seizures which gradually worsen and become intractable. Minassin et al, 1998 - in 10 families with myocloinc epilepsy - 6 distinct DNA seq variations in EPM2A and 1 hom microdeletion each segregating with disease. On HGMD Pro - 0ver 80 reported variants in association with epilepsy incl Gomez-Garre 2000 - 11 novel mutations in the EPM2A gene. Mutatons seen include missense, nonsense, del, ins and gross del.Created: 6 Aug 2019, 8:31 p.m. | Last Modified: 6 Aug 2019, 8:31 p.m.
